I'm so relieved! I hope no one minds but I x-posted this in a couple of places. I know most of you have been keeping up w/ my ttc journey & know that we just started going to an RE to get some answers as to why it is taking so long to conceive. Well, besides the age thing...I'm 31 & DH is 38 (it takes an average of 8-10 months to conceive at this age), I was curious what else was going on. I had a feeling that the D&C & the evil Clomid had thinned the lining of my uterus. Call it a gut feeling. Guess it was right! I went in yesterday & on each ovary there were 2 pretty follicles. 1 measured just under 20, the other just under 19. We were thinking of using a trigger shot & getting those babies released but after the nurse talked to the dr he decided to prescribe me some estrogen (estriodol, sp?) that I had to take orally BUT not through the mouth if you know what I mean ! He thinks that is the only way to get my cervix to absorb enough to help the lining out this cycle otherwise it is basically a no chance cycle.

What I am THANKFUL for is that there were 2 follicles & that my gut feeling was right. I feel so much better now! On to the SA!!!!!

Get to BDing girl. Those follicles should ovulate in the next day or two. I tried some Red Rasberry Women's Tea that I found at the grocery store and I think thats helping with my lining. It also got kind of thin after the first two rounds of Clomid. The dr also had me on an estrogen patch and I think that helped too.

I wish I knew exactly, but I don't. When the doctor told me my lining was a little thin I looked on here and on the net. I read that it is supposed to help thicken the lining, so I thought I would try it. On the box of the tea I have it talks about helping with your cycle and toning the uterus, whatever that means. I guess I will try just about anything.
